Don't eat dinner here unless you are prepared to wajt”

This is a pleasant and reasonably comfortable place to stay and the staff are cheerful and helpful. The issue is that the town has litle to offer in the way of restaurants and the hotel's own kitchen has an issue with getting food out in a timely way So unless you don t mind a long wait, don't bother.

Not up to expectations”

This is a lovely old hotel. We were welcomed to a splendid room with huge lounge and all facilities but somehow just missing the mark. The head chef had just left and the place was reeling as a result. There was a really excellent menu but most things were unavailable The breakfast buffet was one of the poorest I have encountered. This is all very sad because there is so much potential and obviously it used to be superb. It is still worth using as a one night stop but not for longer unless they replace the chef!

Lovely boutique hotel”

The hotel was exceptionally clean, staff friendly and food very good - try the rump steak, best ever.

We arrived in Riversdale to find a lovely hotel which is an oasis in a very ordinary town and we were greeted warmly by the chef on arrival and given a welcome drink. The hotel is quite old but was spotlessly clean with what looked like brand new furniture and we even had our own private lounge. We were booked in for an evening meal and found the food and service to be excellent. I could certainly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for accommodation in Riversdale.
